How Hard Is It To Get A Car Loan As A Graduate Student?
I am graduating from college this year but am planning on doing a 1-year graduate program. I had my own car that my parents bought me but it was totalled in a freak accident. They purchased a new car with the insurance money and I got my dad’s old car. Technically, the car I have is supposed to go to my brother and since we won’t be living together next year one car between the two of us won’t work. Most car loans I have looked at have an immediate income requirement and unless someone “holds” a job for me while I’m in grad school the most I will have is $300 a month in income. I am thinking of trying to take out extra money via student loans since this will be a “necessary” expense for my schooling. Any ideas/suggestions?

many dealerships have 1st time buyer programs. u should check out toyota/scion i know they have one….and i think honda and mitsubishi does too. ask about it. it shouldn’t be too hard if u have already developed some credit.

YOU CAN O TO A CAR DEALER THAT CARRIES THEIR OWN PAPER EXPLAIN YOUR SITUATION ANDTRY TO GET SOMETHING YOU CAN AFFORD TO HELP GET THROUGH GRAD SCHOOL. BE HONEST AND MAKE YOUR PAYMENTS AS AGREED AND YOU SHOULD MAKE IT.

The main objective here is to get you through and out of grad school. You must do that.
What I would do is to get some money together and buy yourself a well-maintained, used Honda or Toyota for less than $5,000 dollars. Stay away from leases and tote-the-note lots.
Lots of these cars available and still have a few dependable years left in them, which will get you through grad school and you won’t have a car payment. Even if you did, it would be a hundred bucks a month. You can buy a new car after getting out of grad school. Also, go easy on the student loans. You have to pay it back. Good Luck!

You need to buy a sleeper car from an old lady for CASH. only. No loans means no worries or repossessions or learn the bus runs. You are looking to go into debt slavery before you even get work.
OH lose a loans , you get a default and you will be surprised how many of your job applications get lost.

If you have a high enough FICO score, it shouldn’t be difficult at all.
